Legend reports that in BC 430, Delphi—home to Apollo’s Oracle—was threatened by a devastating plague. The people pled with the Oracle to tell them how to resist it, and she told them that the plague could be avoided if Apollo’s altar, a perfect...

Fractal digital imagery is a relatively young yet already rich field. Though different from traditional art, this digital medium also demands a well-developed aesthetic sense. Mastery of an ever-evolving tool set permits results perfecting form,...

This black and blue ricochet composition was generated by placing particles on each of the sides of a 16-gon, assigning them starting angles, and then letting each move in a straight line until it encounters an existing line segment at which point...

When I was a little girl, I believed that if I blew the seeds of a dandelion into the air and made a wish that somehow magically those seeds and my dreams could come true. Of course with maturity I understood the game yet held onto the optimism. ...

Boil is a digital image from a computer simulation of fluid flow. The surface in Boil is composed of a set of connected triangles, each of which is defined by the computer as a list of three nodes, and the position of each of those nodes is stored...

Artists often use geometry to create a sense of three-dimensional depth in a two-dimensional drawing or painting, and to give the composition strength through geometric lines and forms. The trapezoidal shape indicated by the arms and upper back in...

As a sculptor of constructive geometric forms, my work deals with patterns and relationships derived from classical ideals of balance and symmetry. Mathematical yet organic, these abstract forms invite the viewer to partake of the geometric...

Extended Vision is a response to a nation-wide call for art for a “house of mathematics.” These three panels are part of a multi-faceted work of 100 panels extending throughout the mathematics building at the University of Utah. The mural develops...

The icosahedral symmetry group has 60 elements – rotations about axes of order 2, 3 and 5. It has a subgroup of index 5 – the group of rotational symmetries of the tetrahedron with 12 elements given by rotations about axes of order 2 and 3. The...

This is a series of black-and-white digital artwork constructed by graphically iterating an arrangement of a small portion of a photograph of a tree, or a bush in the case of No. 4. The original photograph was digitally altered to allow smooth...

Golden Gnomon is a new, more accurately drawn version of a pen plotter drawing McKenna first made back in 1985. It is based on a non-periodic Ammann tiling, which is in turn based on even and odd powers of the square root of the golden ratio. Not...

The Greeks believed there to be three 'ingredients' to beauty: symmetry, proportion, and harmony. This perfect balance was dubbed the "Golden Mean". This perfect balance is something they aspired to in art and architecture. These desirable...
